Do you do your own home repairs?

Depends on the repair... we do whatever we can.

Do our own. If we can't do it I call my best friends hubby!

We do our own. My dh lived in a 200 yr old farm house growing up. So he can fix anything now.

We do our own as long as the project isn't going to be too great like replumbing the entire house. LOL

it depends on the job..i can wield a hammer and drill..but i can't cut wood. i can rehang a light fixture, but i can't fix one that doesn't work (internal electrical issues).
i can do a lot of physical/ABC stuff, but i leave the XYZ to the pros.

I usually do them if it's not too complicated. If I can find a video on ehow or youtube for what I need to do I will do it myself.

When we sold our last house there were two toilet valves leaking (it was the thing that refills the tank) and we had a water heater that was leaking. The water heater was covered under a warranty but the toilets weren't. The plumber guy that did the water heater quoted me $300 for each toilet repair. I looked it up online and watched a couple of instructional videos and did the repairs myself. It took about an hour and a half to replace both of them and the parts cost me around $35 and that included flex hoses to replace the hard metal tube.

Just this morning I was throwing a little hissy fit because 'we' don't seem to fix something when it breaks. It just stays broken. Of course I had to apologize to hubs because 1.he is not a 'handy' type guy, 2.he is still ill and is just barely able to get up and down the steps. Sometimes I can be such a bitch----SURPRISE SURPRISE TO MANY OF YOU!!!
I'm going to find a handytype guy to hire for these repairs.

I try. I bought a book "Hme maintaince for dummies' it's helped me a couple times but I got a really good maile friend who will come over in a heart beat to help me out.

pretty much. the only time we have had to pay someone was for an outside electrical issue.
